Barça’s gearing up for a tough match against Montilivi with a triple yellow alert

Yellow alert for FC Barcelona during tomorrow’s visit to Montilivi to play the 34th matchday of LaLiga against its Catalan neighbor, Girona FC (18.30/DAZN).

There are up to three Barça footballers susceptible to sanctions who have accumulated four yellow cards in their private League account. These are Gundogan, Christensen and Oriol Romeu. If any of the three were cautioned they would miss the next match in Montjuïc against Real Sociedad. Of the three, the German Gundogan is the one with the most chances to start, taking into account that he has only missed one game so far in the competition and is the player with the most minutes of the entire team. Christensen, for his part, could also play at the start, although it must be taken into account that he has some discomfort in his Achilles tendon that has led the Egarense coach to rest him in the second half of the last two matches against Real Madrid and Valencia, so it could be that tomorrow the one from Terrassa would give him a rest. Everything indicates that Oriol Romeu will start from the bench since Ulldecona‘s player has so far only made 11 starts in 33 games.

On the other hand, the rojiblancos will have to take even more precautions since they have 5 players on the squad facing sanctions. Barça’s intended midfielder Aleix García, defender Arnau Martínez, full-back Miguel Gutiérrez, defender Juanpe and defender on loan from Barcelona, Eric García. If any of them saw the fifth yellow during the Catalan derby in Montilivi, they would miss the next league match in Mendizorrotza, against Alavés.
